Where the Flickering Light,
In the eye of this storm.
I stand alone and see
The Splendor of walls of clouds.
The cycle of souls
That were looking for a way.
Their deafening whisper
Spawns a piercing wind.
Reflections of lightning and echoes of thunder…
They pierced me, purifying my soul.
Praising other worlds, calling to serve them
Guide between the abyss.
The hierophant.
Only Gods know your truth.
Be tough, and at the appointed hour
Truth will descend with the winds of the Gods,
it will rain down on the damp earth!
Storm of broken souls
Unleash his wrath on the bodies of traitors.
The living envy the dead.
Cyclical horror and endless torments.
Prophecies come true,
Dimensions merge together.
On the ruins of this race ...
A new world will bloom.
Late 90's BM worship, but it's also a lil more than that. This album takes the best elements from the scene it's inspired by and mostly avoids the worst of it; the song-writing is well-written, it's performed with passion and fun, and the production is raw but isn't lo-fi. (i.e. it doesn't obfuscate and/or suckass).
Tl;dr It's safe but high quality BM. Recommended. Rabbit
What an impressive piece of black metal. This one-man hurricane is pure art. Sgah‘gahsowáh creates an haunting atmosphere. He puts so much soul in his music. Sælzer Bub
The album description mentions an “emotional apex.” That’s really the difference between Stare and the band’s previous albums. Ulcerate was always supremely technically proficient. I just didn’t care all that much. Their growth has come from making music you will feel. Metallurgical Fire
Pretty much the best Black/Speed Metal I've listened to since I learned about Evil Invaders and Vulture. Everything you'd love to be reminded of about this musical era is there. The influences are what you'd expect too: Motörhead, Venom, Bathory, early Slayer, Celtic Frost; aggressive vocals, tortured guitar solos, pounding drums; everything is fast, clear and still a little grimy, but without reverb cranked up to the max. Amazing band, amazing album. Odiumediae
